<p>The Health Surveys for England and Scotland showed a rate of problem gambling of
around 0.5% of the adult population, around 200,000 people. The Responsible Gambling
Trust expects to distribute £6,292,000 on treatment, education and research in 2014/15
and is funded by the gambling industry and further donations; a full list of funders
can be found on their website ( <a href="http://www.responsiblegamblingtrust.org.uk/"
target="_blank">www.responsiblegamblingtrust.org.uk</a> ). The Government does not
collate details of any expenditure by local authorities or the NHS on problem gambling.
DCMS Ministers have regular discussions with their Department of Health colleagues
on a range of matters.</p>
